Anyone who’s ever been a parent will recognize these actions: throwing food, spilling milk, smearing paint on the walls, sitting on the ground and refusing to move. Add in the inability to properly dispose of one’s bodily waste, and the pattern is complete. This is the behavior of toddlers.(quillette.com)

Yes. they are throwing a tantrum. Because life is hard, and full of things they don't understand..

What kind of shit toddlers did you (or the author) raise?

The "terrible twos" exist in the anglosphere but not in other cultures.

This is because they are so individualist they think they need to let a 2 year old have choices in how they live their lives when actually their brains aren't capable of processing such decisions.

They have a troubled name for each year. I remember my wife going on about some shit about it a while ago. But yeah, it's just an excuse for bad parenting. OH WELL, MY KID IS A PILE OF SHIT, IT'S JUST THE THREENAGERS AND FUCK YOU FOURS OR WHATEVER. All the way until you are 25.

In Peru they literally tied their kids to their backs until they are 4 and they have no problems. They don't have a lot of confidence though, win some lose some.
